Friends come together to run dance classes in Morecambe and Carnforth

Two long-term friends are stepping outside of their usual roles to run innovative dance classes across the district.

Georgina Moore, an accountant, and Sally O’Brien, who has worked with adults with learning disabilities for 23 years, have undertaken intensive dance teacher training and are now running classes in Carnforth and Morecambe.

Georgina’s class, Dance Fit, is a dance exercise class for adults of all abilities.

It runs at Carnforth High School Dance Studio on Wednesday evenings from 7pm to 8pm.

“There are loads of exercise classes out there, but so many are fitness-based, or have fixed choreography,” said Georgina.

“I don’t enjoy ‘fitness’ style classes as I miss the creativity that dance brings, so I can now bring this to my classes. “Dance Fit should particularly appeal to women who may have gone to dancing classes when they were younger.”
